Escalier du Roi d'Aragon
What the experts agree on
This legendary 187-step staircase carved into Bonifacio's cliffs offers dramatic descent to the sea, though wind closures are common and the steep climb back up is no joke.
“This staircase with 187 steps cut out of the cliff (closed when the wind is too strong) was, legend has it, built by Alphonse V of Aragon in 1420.”
